Earth and Judith Plant

"Women have long been associated with nature."In the following essay Judith Plant sets out the main principles (in regards to ecofeminism): the closeness of women to nature; the belief that the domination of women and the destruction of nature have the same root cause; patriarchy; and the need to re-establish for nature the organic metaphor over the machine metaphor.

Judith Plant believes that women have long been associated with nature and that historically, women have had no real power in the outside world, no place in decision-making. Other things such as the intellectual life, the work of the mind, have traditionally not been accessible to women for many reasons. Some of these reasons have included society's mentality. According to Judith, today, ecology speaks for the earth, and feminism speaks for the other' in female/male relations. As for ecofeminism, she believes that by speaking for the original others', it seeks to understand the interconnected roots of all domination, and ways to resist the change.

Historically, people were more connected with the earth years ago, mainly because of the fact that many of these people were involved with the earth in some way in their daily lives, through being peasants and living a ordinary existence. But now the earth has become more mechanized and industrialized. Before that, the earth, the giver and supporter of life, was viewed as female, and symbolized by woman, as was the image of disorder, with her storms, droughts, and other natural disasters.

Judith Plant states that because of the view humans used to hold of the earth, they would in a way serve as constraints. Mother Earth' was seen to be alive and sensitive, and no one would consider destroying her in any way. A good example of this strong belief and view towards the earth could be seen in miners. In order to not prevent one of these rules, or in other words to not act "improperly" towards Mother Earth' rituals were carried out. Miners...

...things to survive. A stable environment is the key to survival. Through-out many years, things Earths systems have been changing drastically. The outcomes of change can be good or bad. The Earth is warming faster than ever before, and humans are to blame. Ever since the industrial revolution, (which began during the mid-1800s) humans had affected the Earth’s atmosphere drastically. We have quickly attained a mass amount of geological force in terms of our ability to change the atmosphere so easily. Human population has been constantly escalating rapidly, ever since 1900. About 7 billion people are living right now! With such a large population, there has been an increasing need for products. Carbon Dioxide is a “Greenhouse Gas”. Greenhouse Gasses can trap heat in our atmosphere. Carbon Dioxide levels have increased by over 30% due to the large amount of coal and oil being burned. Adding more and more air pollution is making the air we breathe toxic. This is just one of the many examples of how the Earths systems are changing drastically.

...3.) List four facts that characterize the oceanic ridge system.
Four facts that characterize the oceanic ridge system are: firstly, it represents 20 percent of Earth’s surface, the oceanic ridge system winds through all major ocean basin like the seams on a baseball. Ridges vary in width from 600 miles to 2500 miles. The mid-ocean ridge represents an area where, lithospheric plates move apart and new crust is created by magma pushing up from the mantle . Also, the mid-ocean ridge system is an example of a divergent plate boundary.
4.) Briefly describe the process of continental rifting. Where is it occurring today?
As crust is pulled apart, rifts are formed and eventually become large enough for ocean to form. This is occurring today in the East African rift.

2.) Compare a continental volcanic arc and volcanic island arc.
In a continental volcanic arc mountains formed in part by igneous activity associated with subduction of oceanic lithosphere beneath a continent. In contrast, volcanic island arc is a chain of volcanic islands generally located a few hundred kilometers from a trench where active subduction of one oceanic slab beneath another is occurring.

...﻿PLANTSPlants in Our Daily Life
A plant(also called green plants) is a multi-cellular living organism,member of kingdom Plantae.It is at the base of the food web and are Autotrophs.Plants are considered as backbone of all life on Earth and essential resource for living oragnisms.Plants can be reffered as a factory which processes light into energy and manufactures food for it ownself as well as for other living things.Scientists have foundmore than 270,000 spieces of plants They include a host of familiar organisms including trees, forbs, shrubs, grasses, vines, ferns, and mosses. Plants are unable to move on their own, mostly being rooted to the one place. Plants are essential for any ecosystem.
“Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”
Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto meant by this quote that plants are a healthy diet.
Much of human nutrition depends on plants, either directly or indirectly.Human nutrition depends to a large extent on cereals, especially maize (or corn), wheat and rice. Other staple crops include potato, cassava, and legumes. Human food also includes vegetables, spices, and certain fruits, nuts, herbs, and edible flowers.
Beverages produced from plants include coffee, tea, wine, beer and alcohol.Sugar is obtained mainly from sugar cane and sugar beet, and honey...

...The Origin of the Earth, One of God’s Hidden Secrets
“Much of geology is pure speculation and is as such on the same basis as philosophy, or must be accepted on faith, as the truths of theology” (Rehwinkel 177). For geologists this means that any theory of how the Earth, atmosphere and life originated, takes faith to believe, whether it is the evolutionist’s view or the creationist’s view. Creationists believe that the Earth was created 6000-7000 years ago. This number is based on what the Bible says. Evolutionists believe that the Earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago. (Tarbuck 598) This number is based on the subjective choice of scientific evidence. Creationists have faith that the Bible is true and that there is an Almighty God who created everything. Evolutionists have faith in their theories about how the world works. Using theories based on how the world words today they try determine how the world worked in the pat.
What do Evolutionists say about the Origin of the Earth?
Where did the Geological Column of Earth come from?
According to evolutionists, the universe started from a single catastrophic event now called the Big Bang. Protons, neutrons, and electrons were formed, and they bonded to form helium and hydrogen. Helium and hydrogen collided and underwent nuclear fusion, creating stars in which the lighter elements were made. When the stars collapsed in a supernova, the...

the inhabitants of this planet, especially the human inhabitants:
The planet on which we live; the world: “the diversity of life on earth”.
The earth is the third planet from the sun in the solar system, orbiting between Venus and Mars at an average distance of 90 million miles (149.6 million km) from the sun, and has one natural satellite, the moon. It has an equatorial diameter of 7,654 miles (12,756 km), an average density 5.5 times that of water, and is believed to have formed about 4,600 million years ago. The earth, which is three-quarters covered by oceans and has a dense atmosphere of nitrogen and oxygen, is the only planet known to support life

...found a new territory to take over and become more aggressive as a result of no predation. Also the baboons are able to do night time hunting, raiding farms of livestock and vegetation. That being direct effects of disappearance of animals and the indirect effects include exchange of diseases transmitted from baboons to humans, and farmers keep their children out of school in order to protect their farmers. The effects of the disappearance of animals in the grassland are significant. The native animals of the grassland are called the walking dead, Ghana’s ghost due to the numbers of disappearance of species. Elephants declined by 70%, Hippos 40% and Lion Population by 80%.
This phenomenon presented in the documentary Strange Days on Planet Earth is a convincing argument. Due to the fact the primary predators (key stone species) can control prey and mesopredator populations in top down control. If the top predators are not present it can have disastrous effect on an entire ecosystem. There are been documented cases that loss of top predators has led to the prey population causing cascading negative effects due to surge in population. For example in Yellowstone Park when wolves disappeared the elk population soared, along with other large prey animals increasing which decreased new growth of vegetation. This was due to ecosystem instability because of the keystone predator being removed. As with the case of the top predators of the grasslands, the baboons are...
